Free Social Media Workshop on November 16th


Downtown at City Hall on the 16th of November from 6-8pm, I’m leading a Foursquare free-for-all. Sponsored by the kind folks at Dixieland and the Downtown Lakeland Partnership.

Did I mention “free?”

We’ll spend an hour on Foursquare and other business related social media. Then bring your questions and concerns for the hour open Q&A.

Sometimes It’s About the Passion and Not the Cash

I’m a very lucky man. I’ll grant you that. But it took a lot of planning, sacrifices and perspiration to be this lucky. I don’t work for The Man (or The Woman for that matter.) Actually, I do very little for pay. Five years ago my wife and I decided to change our lives. We [...]

Two Settings to Make Your Facebook Experience More Private

Facebook is in a pickle. (That’s an Internet term meaning “caught between users and advertisers.”) You joined Facebook because it was such an easy way to share your pro-Florida State feelings without your pro-Florida boss finding your secret. (Yes, that’s code for something else.)

However, Facebook needs your information to lure advertisers. The more you share – 35, Single, Impulsive Buyer — the better they can direct ads you may fall for, er, enjoy. Now, Facebook will tell you they don’t give that information to advertisers. That doesn’t mean they don’t aggrigate it to better deliver you those ads for dating services.

In response to this delimma, Facebook recently made a mess of the privacy settings. Excuse me, they “improved user control.”

In this short article, I’ll point you to two easily set fixes to improve your privacy. After, you’ll want to spend some time reading the official Facebook explanation of privacy settings.

@aaronjbates http://bit.ly/3OX91o good find! | Still too many on a list for me, but that's a matter of preference. #TwitterList in reply to aaronjbates # @SCMunson I'm not a programmer, but couldn't Adobe add that to AIR & make it available to all the apps?

8 Steps if Your Twitter Account is Sending Spam

If your Twitter account is sending DM spam, take the following steps:

1) Close Tweetdeck, Seesmic, Hootsuite or any cell apps that check your Twitter account.

2) Log into Twitter directly on the Web at http://twitter.com

3) Open “Settings” (It is on the top menu.)

4) See if you have a tab labeled “Connections.” If so, click it and deauthorize everything you find there. If you want, note and reauthorize later.

5) Go to the “Password” tab and change your password. Make it longer and stronger.

6) Clear your Browser cache and exit.

7) Restart the browser and log back into Twitter. Make sure you no longer have a “Connections” tab under settings. If you do, go back to step 3 and repeat.

8] If you use Tweetdeck, Hootsuite, Seesmic or other such third-party apps, you will need to give them the new password. I recommend you not do so for 24 hours. The fewer sites that have your password during this problem the better.

If someone you know is sending out Twitter spam, send them to this article.
